NZ vs AUS Day 2: Clarke and Tahurangi vs Forster and Dumergue by Jarrod Coutts

Tahurangi Y Clarke R
Forster K Dumergue B

Tahurangi deep supershot
Forster max distance
Clarke hits from c3 and good chance for an early start

25 Apr 2017 8:38AM (Tournament); 13 Readers

Clarke does the hard work and has made h1 so should be away

25 Apr 2017 8:41AM (Tournament); 17 Readers

Clarke approaching h6 and in control

25 Apr 2017 8:47AM (Tournament); 21 Readers

Clarke has the 3 ducks

25 Apr 2017 8:57AM (Tournament); 17 Readers

Dumergue eats the ducks for breakfast and will fill his boots here

25 Apr 2017 8:58AM (Tournament); 18 Readers

To start filling though, he needs to approach h1 from the SB

25 Apr 2017 9:00AM (Tournament); 19 Readers

Dumergue possibly playing a jump..? I'm 90 yards away, but looks like his feet are going forward

25 Apr 2017 9:01AM (Tournament); 19 Readers

Runs h1 with a flat stroke to 3y NW of the peg. A lot of people would say... AAAAAAAEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEYAAAHH in this scenario. or maybe thats just me?

25 Apr 2017 9:03AM (Tournament); 19 Readers

Hit's his 10 yard return

25 Apr 2017 9:03AM (Tournament); 18 Readers

Dumergue has gone round.. NSL with Clarke's 4b ball at 3b

25 Apr 2017 9:34AM (Tournament); 32 Readers

aka the 'FIremans lift'. I'll be impressed for the readers who know that

25 Apr 2017 9:35AM (Tournament); 31 Readers

I think Clarke has hit from c3 as Harps is also on the lawn

25 Apr 2017 9:37AM (Tournament); 33 Readers

Currently discussing the leave. Good opportunity for the kiwis

25 Apr 2017 9:37AM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Kiwi's lay up in c1 with the 4b ball between 2 and c2 and the h1 ball well east of H3 - possibly crosswired. I think the Aussies will put a ball in a corner here

25 Apr 2017 9:44AM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Dumergue will be going to c4

25 Apr 2017 9:49AM (Tournament); 31 Readers

Harps is on. Has made h1 and still needs some good shots for a break

25 Apr 2017 9:52AM (Tournament); 31 Readers

4y approach to h2 then should have a 3ball break

25 Apr 2017 9:53AM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Fails h2 =/

25 Apr 2017 9:53AM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Off partner.. so not the end of the world and looks like he can run it from here

25 Apr 2017 9:54AM (Tournament); 31 Readers

Forster misses partner from E of h3 to c4

25 Apr 2017 10:00AM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Harps runs h2 and doesn't get a rush.. hits the 4 yarder.. takes off to c4.. hits the 4 yarder... gets a rush to h3 but overapproaches and aborts back to partner near c2. NZ keep the innings

25 Apr 2017 10:02AM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Dumergue misses what looks like a target

25 Apr 2017 10:04AM (Tournament); 33 Readers

Harps has a clip on h4.. nice little lay up in lawn

25 Apr 2017 10:14AM (Tournament); 30 Readers

Forster has a free shot with a ball at his hoop for a standard TP.. 22 yarder... likes it

25 Apr 2017 10:14AM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Looks like it just misses

25 Apr 2017 10:14AM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Clarke lays up for Tahurangi near c3 putting Forster between c4 and h4. Reminder;

Tahurangi h4
Clarke 4b
Forster h1
Dumergue 4b

25 Apr 2017 10:22AM (Tournament); 28 Readers

Forster misses. Can't believe it. That must be 3 very close shots.. NZ have been lucky to get away with that

25 Apr 2017 10:23AM (Tournament); 27 Readers

Harps back in control now. All the balls are inlawn and approaching 1b in control

25 Apr 2017 10:33AM (Tournament); 32 Readers

Had a bit of trouble at 4b, but has taken the ball round.
NZ 4b and peg with a spread
AUS 1 and 4b with I think the 4b ball at the peg

25 Apr 2017 10:53AM (Tournament); 35 Readers

Australia lift the 4b ball and head to c3. I think that's a win for NZ even if he hits

25 Apr 2017 10:55AM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Another good lift shot from the Australian team and Dumergue keeps g1 alive

25 Apr 2017 10:56AM (Tournament); 33 Readers

I didn't see the leave.. but Clarke has missed and Forster now has a finishing turn

25 Apr 2017 11:14AM (Tournament); 33 Readers

Doesn't get the balls out and has a very delayed TP which turns into a STP. Finishes penault and peg vs 4b alone

25 Apr 2017 11:48AM (Tournament); 22 Readers

Clarke hits the 14 yarder and rolls up to 4b from near c4

25 Apr 2017 11:49AM (Tournament); 22 Readers

Grovels through - from this distance, looks like it hit the wire then spun through

25 Apr 2017 11:49AM (Tournament); 23 Readers

Good rush to penault

25 Apr 2017 11:50AM (Tournament); 24 Readers

Forward rush to rover

25 Apr 2017 11:50AM (Tournament); 25 Readers

Runs rover off the SB.. has a 4 return

25 Apr 2017 11:51AM (Tournament); 23 Readers

Game 1 NZ: +4

25 Apr 2017 11:52AM (Tournament); 27 Readers

That's a very good win to NZ

25 Apr 2017 11:54AM (Tournament); 26 Readers

Players are stopping for lunch

25 Apr 2017 12:14PM (Tournament); 26 Readers

Game 2

25 Apr 2017 2:16PM (Tournament); 26 Readers

Forster on 4b. Dumergue on h2. Clarke on h1, Harps on h2

25 Apr 2017 2:19PM (Tournament); 24 Readers

Dumergue broke down after missing a hampered shot after penault. Rover and Rover vs h2 for Harps and Clarke on a break

25 Apr 2017 3:21PM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Lift was missed and Harps had a match winning turn /break to peg.

25 Apr 2017 3:52PM (Tournament); 30 Readers

Chases the TP and finishes with no peels and a clip on 1b

25 Apr 2017 3:54PM (Tournament); 28 Readers

Luckily for NZ Forster just misses the shot and Harps has a second chance at a break

25 Apr 2017 4:04PM (Tournament); 30 Readers

Plays some good shots and is in control approaching 4b

25 Apr 2017 4:04PM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Clip goes on the peg

25 Apr 2017 4:12PM (Tournament); 26 Readers

It's a spread with Forster at the peg

25 Apr 2017 4:13PM (Tournament); 26 Readers

Forster misses the lift

25 Apr 2017 4:24PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Big few rushes needed

25 Apr 2017 4:24PM (Tournament); 32 Readers

First one doesn't go to plan

25 Apr 2017 4:24PM (Tournament); 32 Readers

Makes finishing a lot harder

25 Apr 2017 4:24PM (Tournament); 33 Readers

Good croquet stroke so good chance now

25 Apr 2017 4:25PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Good 4b

25 Apr 2017 4:25PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Penault peele 3yS of penault

25 Apr 2017 4:26PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Pioneer*

25 Apr 2017 4:26PM (Tournament); 35 Readers

Gets a northerly rush!

25 Apr 2017 4:27PM (Tournament); 32 Readers

Should be all over

25 Apr 2017 4:27PM (Tournament); 32 Readers

Doesn't get a rush south after running penault

25 Apr 2017 4:28PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Doesn't get a rush south after running penault

25 Apr 2017 4:28PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Hampered after rover. This looks bad

25 Apr 2017 4:29PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Maybe it's better than we thought as a ref is called and she's going for it

25 Apr 2017 4:30PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Misses

25 Apr 2017 4:31PM (Tournament); 33 Readers

We won't be getting out of here anytime soon now

25 Apr 2017 4:32PM (Tournament); 35 Readers

Forster hits the 4 yarder. Has a chance at the rover peel with one escape ball

25 Apr 2017 4:33PM (Tournament); 33 Readers

Doesn't go for it, so the kiwis will get another shot

25 Apr 2017 4:34PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Crosswire at rover. Laid up in c3

25 Apr 2017 4:38PM (Tournament); 34 Readers

Clarke misses badly

25 Apr 2017 4:43PM (Tournament); 29 Readers

And we'll be going to a 3rd unless a miracle happens

25 Apr 2017 4:44PM (Tournament); 30 Readers

+2 AUS. Low battery so I'll try find a charger, if not you'll have some comments from Pete or a delayed summary from me

25 Apr 2017 4:47PM (Tournament); 33 Readers

We're back! After picking up supplies,a sleeping Hakes and a portable charger. It's dumergue and Clarke on 4b with Harps and Forster on h1. Dumergue shooting from c3 after lifting the NSL ball

25 Apr 2017 6:05PM (Tournament); 16 Readers

Dumergue hits and will be making a leave

25 Apr 2017 6:05PM (Tournament); 16 Readers

Laid up at c1 with Clarke's 4b ball at 2 and the h1 ball on EB level with 6

25 Apr 2017 6:13PM (Tournament); 20 Readers

4b ball goes to c4. Can he finish from a corner and give Aus a 4-2 lead

25 Apr 2017 6:14PM (Tournament); 21 Readers

Hampered after h1 and misses the 4y sweep

25 Apr 2017 6:14PM (Tournament); 21 Readers

Harps has a free shot through them, or a 17 yarder at partner in c4

25 Apr 2017 6:18PM (Tournament); 22 Readers

Misses partner in c4. Second match winning turn for Australia

25 Apr 2017 6:19PM (Tournament); 22 Readers

Fails h2

25 Apr 2017 6:21PM (Tournament); 24 Readers

NZ miss. Forster misses.

25 Apr 2017 6:28PM (Tournament); 31 Readers

Harps loads 2 from c4 and goes out on the croquet stroke going to Oppo balls near h3 on NZs first match winning turn (this game). 3rd time for Forster - but will have to play lots of good shots for a delayed TP

25 Apr 2017 6:30PM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Forster has complete control, but is still looking at the delayed TP. An error from that is NZs best chance now I think

25 Apr 2017 6:34PM (Tournament); 27 Readers

Makes the sensible decision to abort. Will be a ball to peg now and NZ will get one more shot

25 Apr 2017 6:35PM (Tournament); 27 Readers

Approaching 4b.. Will he play for the Stp?

25 Apr 2017 6:42PM (Tournament); 28 Readers

Gets the first peel. Aborts after an average rush to penault

25 Apr 2017 6:44PM (Tournament); 31 Readers

Penault and peg vs 1 and 4b with a spread. 4b ball at the peg

25 Apr 2017 6:48PM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Harps has a nice target from B baulk.. Likes it.. Misses

25 Apr 2017 6:56PM (Tournament); 29 Readers

Dumergue plays a great finishing turn and gives Australia the game and the match. Oh so close for NZ.
NZ 2 AUS 4. Singles tomorrow - we think Chapman and Harps have the late start
